'When I was asked to give Kevin Costner his Lifetime Achievement Award, I didn't know I would have laryngitis,' she began her presentation while speaking with a very raspy voice.

'Everything will be fine they said, we'll give you bullet points and make sure to mention his 50 films along with his Oscars, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, DGA, PGA, SAG and WTF [what the f***], what am I speed reader?' Rene joked before she invited fast-talking Storage Wars auctioneer Dan Dotson on stage to read Kevin's long list of film credits.
